Twelve years after the Portuguese forward left Manchester United to join Real Madrid, and roughly 18 hours after he seemed set to become a Manchester City player, a return to Old Trafford has now happened.
The journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester United had made an official bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, while Goal’s Juventus correspondent Romeo Agresti claims that the Red Devils have made an offer of 28 million euros.
This comes after La Gazzetta dello Sport declared that a fee in the region of 25-30 million euros would likely see Cristiano Ronaldo join Manchester City, but now the same fee is set to be enough for Manchester United to bring him back to the club.
use it is the amount that they still owe to Real Madrid from his 112 million euro move to the club in 2018. In addition, freeing up Cristiano Ronaldo’s 31 million euro a year salary will benefit the club financially as they look to rebuild.
Despite Manchester City being given the option of signing Cristiano Ronaldo and showing an initial interest in the deal, they decided to back out on Friday, clearing the path for Manchester United to have a clear run at their former No.7.
Cristiano, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, has so far won over 30 major trophies during his career, including five UEFA Champions League titles, four FIFA Club World Cups, seven league titles in England, Spain and Italy, and the European Championship for his native Portugal.
